  • jessica’s desserts – rote gruze (red berry pudding with vanilla pudding sauce) and iles flottantes (drizzled with caramel and served with creme anglaise)
  • lauren: white chili and fresh apple cake
  • alice: the american food menu – hamburgers and apple pie; lemon-tarragon dip for the alumni thing
  • austin: beef manhattans
  • waseem: chicken and chickpeas with toasted pita bits
  • betsy: “australian chicken” and mushroom curry
  • sadie: pasta with peas and ham
  • carrie: chicken + barley, cider spice cake with bits of candied ginger and whipped cream

food non-kudos: i like ice cream too, just not three times a week! (more…)
